Dan Campbell, NO – Partially Torn MCL
Saints’ TE Dan Campbell partially tore the medial collateral ligament in his knee during practice last week and he is scheduled to undergo surgery that will keep him sidelined 6 – 8 weeks. Campbell told reporters that if the surgery goes well he could be back as early as the start of training camp. Campbell is a blocking tight end and has no fantasy value. Billy Miller and Jeremy Shockey will do battle to see who will be the Saints’ primary pass-catching tight end.
Antonio Gates, SD – Severe High Ankle Sprain / Strained Achilles’ Tendon / Sprained Big Toe
Chargers’ TE Antonio Gates, who played through a number of injuries including a sprained big toe, strained Achilles’ tendon and a severe high ankle sprain, continues to be held out of team drills and practices however he said that he is feeling much better and that he expects to be fine by training camp. Gates told reporters that his ankle and Achilles’ tendon are both healed. Unfortunately his toe remains an issue. According to reports Gates’ big toe remains sore, and although he claims that his toe is “structurally fine” it’s definitely becoming a concern since he has had plenty of time to heal. Gates appears to be optimistic and team officials aren’t openly worried, but we are going to have to wait and see what happens when training camp begins.
